Yep. His website/forum is a joke. Here's the thread:

He also accused JasonN of stealing ideas from his edit:
If you are following the Prologue fanedit (either the Part 2a screener or the change tracker thread), watch from time 0.21:

Seem familiar?
When I saw that even the same transition shot is used (i.e., the turnaround), I become intrigued by this guy and his Star Wars edit. I traced the project here:
http://originaltrilogy.com/forum/topic.cfm/STAR-WARS-ATTACK-OF-THE-FEDERATION-TWILIGHT-OF-THE-REPUBLIC-THE-BLACK-KNIGHT-RISES/topic/10114/
Looks promising: lots of good (or at least popular/supported) ideas, some effects work, etc. The author goes out of his way to credit and praise certain sources for his inspiration and direction, but there is no mention or hint of the Prologue project, so I start considering how rare it must be for two strangers to come up with the same idea to re-use a deleted scene in the same new way for the same new plot device.
But then I checked our Community menu and I wasn't so amazed. Someone named JasonN registered a Digital Fanedits account one day in January and has never logged in since. Presumably he got everything he needed.
Whoever you are, I have to agree with one of your OT buddies, bkev, who likes your idea of meeting Anakin at the fight. And all along I thought it was my idea.
Damn! Just when I thought I was contributing something original...LOL
Jeez, this guy really thinks that he is so special that someone would bother to register at his stupid self promotion website just to steal an idea? JasonN said himself that he got the original idea from a commentary track (phantom editors, i think). People come up with the same ideas all the time. God, this guy needs taking down a peg or two.;)
